Luke also felt that things weren’t the same under the command of this coldblooded and efficient commander.
No matter how fierce or good most of the gang members whom he had dealt with before were, if three to five out of ten of them died, the rest would also fall if they didn’t flee.
However, the people tonight were more like death soldiers.
Death wasn’t enough to rout them.
In any case, he didn’t really want to scare off these people.
He had earned more than 2,000 experience and credit points from the six criminals just now. He didn’t want them to run.
Otherwise, would he have taken more than ten seconds to kill six people?
That was enough time for him to kill all 15 people of Squad 2.
Boiling a frog slowly in water wasn’t something that happened in the real world.
That was because frogs could jump out of the warm water. When it came to mind games, however, this idea indeed did have some effect.
Luke didn’t mind giving them hope and time, since it gave him some time himself. He would earn some experience and credit points first, so that there were fewer people to escape the net at the end.
Just like that, the two parties, each with their own ulterior motive, were in perfect accord as they started a huge battle.
Luke hadn’t chosen a residential area, but a business district.
Most business districts had one thing in common: There were a lot of people during the day, but there wasn’t even a ghost at night.
There was enough time and space to determine a victor here.
Luke didn’t retreat immediately after killing the six criminals. Instead, he moved through the building.
The doors and windows on the third floor became his vantage points. Four more criminals were killed before they knew it.
Then, just as the enemy was about to surround him, Luke dashed out of a side door and slipped off through a flower bed.
“He’s broken through the gap between Squad 1 and Squad 4,” the commander warned again.
But even as he spoke, Luke had already skidded out from behind the flower bed and suddenly straightened as his run turned into a series of quick steps.
The two Glocks in his hands exploded.
Bullets flew at two criminals who had just turned around, and they subconsciously crouched down for cover.
This was a reflex they had developed through long-term combat.
In fact, Luke didn’t really have to aim as he fired at the criminals.
There were only two of them blocking his way.
One stayed on guard at the railing on the side of the road, while the other advanced from two meters away.
At that moment, Luke suddenly appeared ten meters away.
The criminal holding the gun immediately pulled the trigger and fired two short bursts to announce Luke’s location.
Pa!
A hole appeared in the right eye of his tactical goggles, and he collapsed.
This was the first target Luke had aimed at after breaking out of their circle.
The other person was bent low with his gun raised, but his line of sight was blocked by junk nearby, and he didn’t notice Luke right away.
When he came out from behind the junk, he heard the sound of a gunshot.
He finally caught sight of a black figure out of the corner of his eye, and he immediately pointed his gun at it.
However, the black figure’s movements weren’t quick, but nor were they slow; they were just a little faster than his gun.
Just as he was about to lock onto the target, the man was already five meters in front of him.
The criminal couldn’t help but pull the trigger.
Luke was unperturbed. Ignoring the bullets that brushed past him, he charged at the criminal and casually raised his hand.
Pa!
The criminal’s head jerked to the side, and he fell to the ground.
At that moment, Luke suddenly moved sideways.
Bang!
There was a muffled gunshot, and a bullet hit where he had been standing.
Luke, however, was already hiding in the shadows behind the building. He shook his head inwardly. It wasn’t the sniper.
The elite sniper he had been expecting wasn’t among the people who had shown up tonight.
There was still a huge difference between the best and the elite; it was like the difference between the top ten and the top 500 in the industry.
While these two couldn’t hit Luke, they could still limit his movements.
On top of that, given the current strength of these criminals, they couldn’t trigger a clear response from his “sense of danger” because they were too weak to him.
Half of his attention was currently on the periphery of the activity around him.
Killing these small fry was just for experience and credit points, but killing the top sniper might result in a shower of experience points and abilities.
It was obvious who was more important.
He could get experience and credit points from gangs and secret organizations, but it was hard to encounter a top sniper.
The one thing Luke lacked at the moment was the perception of a top sniper.
With this, he would be able to kill some troublesome people from afar.
People could then investigate all they wanted, but he would never reveal his sniping ability.
Of course, he had another backup candidate — Cross.
However, Cross wasn’t a bad guy. Furthermore, his super long-distance sniping ability was especially distinctive, and had long been on record. There was no need for him to bring disaster to the father and son.
The commander reacted quickly.
Squad 1 and Squad 4 switched directions and continued firing at him to control his movements.
Squad 2 and Squad 3 sped up toward the front.
Passing through small paths between buildings, Luke raised his head.
There were several other drones hovering in the sky. Although they weren’t as powerful as his medium-sized one, they had locked firmly onto his location.
This was why the enemy commander’s orders were always timely.
Luke smiled.
He wasn’t afraid of them being too strong, but of being too weak.
If he didn’t give them some hope, he really wouldn’t be able to gobble them up.
They weren’t as good as the hitmen who had formed a temporary alliance before, but their teamwork was more precise and efficient.
They had stayed in formation the whole time, and hadn’t given him a chance to wipe them out in one go. They had only used their firepower to suppress his movements.
This was the level of a proper team! Luke sighed inwardly.
If more than a hundred elite veterans worked well together, they would definitely be able to completely crush the real John Wick.
Wave after wave of attacks wasn’t something a normal person could withstand.
Luke was now controlling his speed and relying on just his precise marksmanship and Boogeyman John’s ability to conceal his aura.
It was impossible to ambush them since he couldn’t escape their surveillance drones.
As both parties ran, the enemy paid the price of seven more deaths to force Luke to enter a building.
When he stepped into the three-story building, he smiled lightly and said, “It’s show time.”
Seeing him walk into the building, the commander sneered. “He’s entered the third preset location. Follow the plan.”
Two seconds after that, the power in the building was cut and several lights went out, plunging the building into darkness.
